COMPETITIONS HANDBOOK 2016 3

FROM THE COMPETITIONS VICE PRESIDENT My name is Amelia Westerside, and I am the Competitions Vice President for the Blackstone Society for 2016. I have a vast breadth of experience with Blackstone competitions, including participation in pre-law competitions, and law competitions in my time as a Juris Doctor student. Now, I am organising and running the large and diverse range of competitions that Blackstone has to offer. Competitions are an easy and fun way to get involved in extra-curricular activities in the law school, to impress potential employers, and gain practical experience by applying skills learned in the classroom to problem scenarios. All the competitions that Blackstone runs give competitors the opportunity to develop various skills required to be a success in the legal profession. These skills include public speaking and advocacy skills, as well as critical thinking and legal research skills. Competitions give competitors an opportunity to deal with material in a way that is unavailable in regular teaching hours in the law degree. Previous competitors have defended murder charges, prosecuted war criminals in the International Court of Justice, made appearances in appellate courts to argue tortious liability, and negotiate over family law matters and who in a divorce gets to keep the family pet. Blackstone caters to the full range of diverse skill levels, experience and legal knowledge of law students at UWA. We provide opportunities for all students to get involved in the competitions portfolio through Blackstone Advocacy, and have two First Year JD students’ only competitions. All our internal competitions are open to all law students, which give you an opportunity to compete externally by representing UWA at the Australian Law Student’s Association July Conference. I look forward to this year, to be able to share the stimulating, challenging and rewarding competitions experience with more law students. I will see you all around the Courtyard! If you have any further enquiries please contact me directly at: [email protected] Amelia

COMPETITIONS HANDBOOK 2016 4

GENERAL INFORMATION ELIGIBILITY Any student who is:  A current, ordinary financial member of the Blackstone Society  Has not graduated from the law school The above students are eligible to compete in all competitions, unless the competitions are First Year JD specific or Pre-Law specific.

DRESS Competitors are expected to dress professionally for their competition. Competitors in “court based” competitions (i.e Witness Examination and Moots) are not expected to robe. Such dress may include a business suit, jacket and tie, or a neat dress or trousers with collared, sleeved shirts. Associates, witnesses, and clients are not expected to dress formally on the nights. However, they should still dress conservatively for the occasion and avoid things like demeaning imagery, offensive slogans, singlets, or thongs.

ON THE NIGHT Most competitions commence at 7pm. This means all competitors must be in the Courtyard to be briefed and allocated a room by the Competitions director no later than 6:30pm. Competitors should not expect the results for the competition on the night. Many of the competition rounds are spread over several nights, the results are withheld until all of the competitions of the round have been completed. Results are then released to all competitors simultaneously. Competitors are expected to assist in returning the competition rooms back to their original state after the competition in that room is finished for the night. After the rooms are rearranged, the competitors are invited to head to the common room where drinks and nibbles are provided. If the judges are willing, an opportunity to mingle, seek further feedback and build your network may arise in this portion of the night as well. Where this is unavailable, the Grand Finals of each Competition are ideal times for networking as well.

COMPETITIONS HANDBOOK 2016 5 If students have any queries about a result or the way in which a competition was conducted on the night, at the common room after the competition is an opportunity for the issue to be raised with the competitions director. Alternatively, send them an email following the competition.

COMPETITION RULES This handbook is only a general guide to competitions. The competition rules are those uploaded onto the Blackstone website. Competitors should take the time to carefully read the rules that apply to their competition. The Competitions Vice President may, with absolute discretion and at any time, make any changes to the rules deemed necessary to facilitate the conduct of the competition. The criteria for eligibility cannot be changed once the cut-off time for registration is reached. On the night, a competitor may seek clarification of the rules as they apply to their competition. At first instance, the competitor should seek out the ruling of the Competitions Director, then the relevant Competitions Officer, and then the Competitions Vice President. The decision on the night will stand, though it may be subsequently appealed.

BLACKLISTING POLICY To ensure registration for competitions is not abused and that only students who are serious about competing register for competitions, Blackstone enforces a strict Blacklisting Policy. A student who is Blacklisted will be prevented from participating in any Blackstone competition for 2 semesters after they are placed on the Blacklist, unless they are removed from the Blacklist. In order to ensure respect for fellow competitors and volunteer judges of competitions, competitors can be Blacklisted for the following conduct:  Withdrawing from a competition within 48 hours of a scheduled round of the competition without a reasonable excuse;  A failure to provide a witness or client when instructed to do so by the Competition Director, relevant Competition Officer, or Competitions Vice President;  Participating or engaging in behaviour that is likely to offend, intimidate, harass, or threaten another competitor; or  Participating or engaging in behaviour that is disrespectful to fellow competitors, witnesses, associates, clients, judges, or University property.

COMPETITIONS HANDBOOK 2016 6 Competitors can be removed from the Blacklist at the discretion of the Competitions Vice President by providing an excuse for the withdrawal, an apology or other reparations necessary. Examples of conduct that may result in the removal of a Blacklisting include:  Volunteering as an associate or client in a Competition ;  Partaking in Blackstone Volunteering or Equity Events; or  Proof of involvement with Guild Volunteering. Competitors who wish to appeal the decision of the Competitions Vice President may appeal by following the process outlined in the “APPEALS” section. In the event of serious breaches of etiquette and professional standards, the Competitions Vice President may refer competitors to the Law Faculty.

APPEALS This handbook is just a guide. The official Appeals Policy appears on the Blackstone website. Students may wish to appeal the conduct or outcome of a particular competition. If the appeal is on the night, then the first appeal is to the Competition Director, or the Competitions Officer, or the Competitions Vice President, depending on availability. The decision on the night made by Competitions personnel will be final and no appeal will be entered into on the evening. Within 24 hours of the complained conduct, or the results being released, a competitor may formalise their appeal by emailing the Competitions Vice President at [email protected]. This timing will be strictly enforced. If the competitor is not satisfied with the outcome of the appeal to the Competitions Vice President, then they may notify the Competitions Vice President that they wish to appeal to the Blackstone Executive Board (the Board). The competitions Vice President and the Board have unfettered discretion to address the issues raised by the appeal, including the ability to disqualify competitors and to change the results.

SIGN UP DEADLINES Interested students must submit an entry form before noon on the relevant dates below. Please note competitions are frequently over-subscribed. Where a Blackstone Competition is over-subscribed, preference will be given to JD/LLB students on a first come/first served basis. Where it is a team competition, entrants who apply as a team will get preference over entrants who apply as an individual to be matched with a partner.

COMPETITIONS HANDBOOK 2016 7 Competitors who are successful in gaining a place in a competition will be notified of their place in the competition on the same day that entry shuts.

ALSA CONFERENCE

One of the great things about all Blackstone Internal Competitions is that you can win a trip to the Annual Australian Law Students Association (‘ALSA’) Conference to compete. This year the Conference is being held in Hobart, Tasmania at the University of Tasmania, beginning on Monday 4th of July and finishes on Sunday 10th of July 2016. In order to be eligible, competitors must have at least made the Grand Final of their competition and be available on the dates. To compete at ALSA, priority is given first to competitors who won the Grand Final of the Blackstone run Internal Competition, then to the first runner up, second runner up and third runner up. Blackstone provides sponsorship for attendance and competing at the conference. Last year Blackstone sent 9 competitors to the ALSA Conference, whom competed in 4 different competitions. Whilst the contingent was not hugely successful, with Client Interview being the exception, all those who went had a hectic and fun week of partying with students from around Australia. With events such as cocktail parties, black tie galas, and a fancy dress cruise, the week always is one of the most enjoyable opportunities that the competition portfolio has to offer. The conference is also an excellent opportunity to build up your professional network, as you are able to meet and compete against students from all over Australia. You meet the best of the best law students from around the nation, and if you choose to get involved with more external competitions, you may and likely will see these students again!

"The ALSA King and Wood Mallesons Championship Moot puts you against the best and brightest law students in Australia. During winter holidays you and over 450 law students from around Australia will fly to Hobart to compete. This presents a great opportunity to represent UWA while making lots of new friends" Matheo, 2015 ALSA Open Mooting and 2016 Jessup competitor

BLACKSTONE ADVOCACY

Blackstone Advocacy is a competitions initiative which allows all law and pre-law students the opportunity to develop their legal advocacy, persuasion, and research skills in a low pressure environment among peers. With weekly sessions, Blackstone Advocacy gives training, ongoing support, and feedback to its participants in regards to all advocacy exercises attempted. Blackstone Advocacy is organised and run by law students whom are deeply experienced with the competitions portfolio. From long time competitors, to former Jessup competitors, these students know all the tips and tricks to becoming a successful competitor in all of Blackstone’s competitions. They also know what judges are looking for in each competition, and can help you cater you competing style to what judges want. Blackstone Advocacy aims to open up the competitions portfolio by allowing anyone and everyone to attend the sessions to gain more of an insight into the Competitions that Blackstone runs, and how to compete in them. It serves to encourage students to participate in both the Internal and External competitions which Blackstone is involved in. Selection criteria for most external competitions which Faculty are involved in do and will have participation in Blackstone Advocacy as a prerequisite for qualifying. After each session, Blackstone Advocacy hosts a social barbecue to provide an opportunity to develop new friendships within the law school.

BLACKSTONE COMPETITIONS CLAYTON UTZ WITNESS EXAMINATION

WHAT IS IT? Single competitors are assigned as counsel for the plaintiff or defendant in a civil trial (or prosecution or defence in a criminal trial).

All trials in the rounds after the first round will commence at 7:00pm and conclude at approximately 8:30pm. Questions are released to competitors at 2:00pm the day before the trial.

“This competition requires barely any preparation but is very fun! The focus is on examining and crossexamining a witness and on general overall persuasion and logical flow of an argument. It’s a great competition to try if you want to build confidence in public speaking, but don’t want the time commitment of mooting.” Isabella, 2015 Clayton Utz Witness Examination Grand Finalist The stakes are high… but the preparation is low - you only get the problem a few hours before. You get to strut your trial advocacy skills on the big stage, and get great feedback a panel of judges and experienced lawyers.” Sam, Clayton Utz Witness Examination Grand Finalist

“Being part of client interview was super fun. It was a stress free (basically zero prep) way to get involved in the competitions and then being able to attend ALSA was amazing. We got to meet so many different students and share experiences from people around Australia. Client interview was also a great comp to be a part of, because the feedback we received was very helpful not just for for the competition, but was also applicable to other law units, and life in general!” Tegan, 2015 Winner of Norton Rose Fulbright Client Interview

KING & WOOD MALLESONS OPEN MOOTING WHAT IS IT? Pairs of competitors adopt the roles of junior and senior council for either the appellant or respondent. The competition simulated a court case and competitors will prepare an argument based on a hypothetical fact scenario and will make submissions before a judge. The aim is not to present the best argument, but it is the manner in which the argument is delivered. There are 2 preliminary knockout rounds followed by finals.

HOW DO I PREPARE? Competitors are expected to research and prepare of a List of Authorities, a brief Outline of Submissions and the present an oral argument. Each pair must provide a copy of the Submissions to the judge on the night. Competitors must also prepare and research independent of any assistance from any other person.

TIME-COMMITMENT Trials start at 7:00pm and approximately conclude by 8:30pm. Questions and allocated roles are released to competitors at 72 hours before the moot.

HOW LONG DO I HAVE TO SPEAK? Each party is given 15 minutes to make submissions to the bench, during which time the judge may question the speakers.

“The preparation required for open mooting is higher than other competitions, but it is a good outlet for practicing legal skills, and having to turnaround arguments in a short amount of time. That also makes Open Mooting very rewarding, and I found that Open Mooting contributed to my studies by developing my ability to respond to problem scenarios. It is also a good chance to practice drafting submissions, preparing oral arguments, and practice advocacy, and all the judges are very helpful in offering feedback and suggestions.” Richard, 2015 King & Wood Mallesons Open Mooting Grand Finalist

HERBERT SMITH FREEHILLS’ NEGOTIATION WHAT IS IT? This competition provides participants the opportunity to practice some basic strategies and advice in the negotiation process. It is important to remember that there is no single correct approach to conducting a negotiation, therefore the results will rely on how teams achieve the best possible outcome for the client when taking into consideration their interests and objectives.

HOW DO I PREPARE? No knowledge of substantive law is required. Both teams are given a set of “Common Facts” that both sides know, and “Secret Facts” which are unique to their side of the negotiation. During the negotiation, teams can request one time out in order to consult with their client about concessions.

TIME-COMMITMENT The question is released at 2pm the day of the competition. The negotiation goes for up to an hour, or until the parties come to a resolution. After the negotiation, there is time allocated for judge feedback.

HOW LONG DO I HAVE TO SPEAK? The negotiation process is as follows:  



50 minutes of the negotiating period, where both teams may speak on behalf of their party’s interests 10 minutes reflection period, where teams discuss amongst themselves how they think they went, outlining strong and weak points 10 minutes self-analysis for each team, where the team self-analyse their negotiation and how they think they went with the judge

WHO IS ELIGIBLE?

“Negotiation Competition is an exciting experience with limited legal techniques making it an excellent competition for students of all experience levels.

AUSTRALIAN RED CROSS INTERNATIONAL HUMANITARIAN LAW MOOT

WHAT IS IT? This is a simulated trial before the International Criminal Court and follows regular mooting format and procedure. Given the basic knowledge of International humanitarian Law knowledge is not necessarily required; there is a generous preparation period before the moot and teams are provided with a case list suggesting relevant authorities. The problems concern alleged breaches of international humanitarian law and are designed to reflect actual criminal prosecutions, as well as address emerging issues in the law of armed conflict. The competition aims to provide students with an opportunity to explore the area of international humanitarian law, as well develop their research analytical and advocacy skills in a formal environment.

HOW DO I PREPARE? While the same problem is used for the duration of the competition, teams may be allocated to argue either side of the problem. As the same question is used in each round it in anticipated there is minimal additional preparations between rounds.

“IHL Moot, like all of the moots, does require a fair bit of preparation and planning but was a fantastic experience. Because of its international focus, IHL is very different to much of what I’d learnt and researched in uni so this was a really interesting and engaging way to learn about IHL. The highlight of IHL moot was making it to the grand final, and being judged by former judge of the International Criminal Tribunal for Yugoslavia, Kevin Parker.” Tegan, 2015 Australian Red Cross International Humanitarian Law Moot Grand Finalist

A short copy of written submissions is to be filed on the night.

TIME-COMMITMENT The question will be released approximately 2 weeks before the commencement of the first round.

PRE-LAW COMPETITIONS PRE-LAW MOCK TRIAL WHAT IS IT? Like Witness Examination, this competition involves a first instance hearing in which two teams (prosecution and defence) conduct a simulated criminal trial. Each barrister gets to conduct and examination in chief and a cross examination as well as deliver either an opening or closing address to the presiding judge. Each team is responsible for providing two witnesses for each round in which they compete. Any person who is not a competitor is eligible to be a witness. Competitors are assessed on their advocacy skills and the way in which they handle witnesses, extract facts, adapt to the evidence and deliver their case theory. Substantive legal knowledge is not required. Questions are written so the facts, rather than the law are the issues in dispute. This competition is great for people who competed in Mock Trials at school or who think of themselves as the next Mike Ross/Harvey Specter combination. Even for those who just want a fun experience with a mate as a way of getting involved in Blackstone.

HOW DO I PREPARE? You must provide a witness for the competition for each week you are competing. Please note that they will be a witness for different pair of competitors. Failure to do so may be a breach of the blacklisting policy (see above). Competitors must also prepare and research independent of any assistance from any other person

TIME-COMMITMENT The first round has to trials, one starting at 7:00pm and approximately concluding by 8:30pm, the next starting at 9:00pm and concluding at approximately 10:30pm. All trials in the rounds after the first will commence at 7:00pm and conclude at approximately 8:30pm. Questions are released to competitors at 2:00pm the day before the trial.

HOW LONG DO I HAVE TO SPEAK? Each competitor has:  2 minutes to give an opening statement;  10 minutes to conduct an examination in chief of their own witness;  15 minutes to conduct a cross-examination of their opponent’s witness; and

PRE-LAW NEGOTIATION WHAT IS IT? Essentially conducted in the same manner as the Herbert Smith Freehills Negotiation Competition, this competition involves two teams (of two) negotiating on behalf of fictional clients. Teams are given a set of common facts and a set of facts unique to the client they represent, each team is attempting to get the best deal they can for their client whilst obeying the constraints of their clients’ instructions. Competitors are assessed on the way in which they identify the common ground and the key issues to be resolved by the negotiation, as well as the way in which they interact with the offers and suggestions made by the other team. Ultimately how close the outcome is to the wishes of the clients is a big factor in the assessment. No substantive legal knowledge is required to compete in the competition and questions are written in such a way that the law is not really an outstanding issue, but rather the application of uncontroversial laws to contentious facts. This competition is great for people who competed in SCRAM at school or just want to have a laugh and get involved UWA Law.

HOW DO I PREPARE? No knowledge of substantive law is required. Both teams are given a set of “Common Facts” that both sides know, and “Secret Facts” which are unique to their side of the negotiation. During the negotiation, teams can request one time out in order to consult with their client about concessions.

TIME-COMMITMENT The question is released at 2pm the day of the competition. The negotiation goes for up to an hour, or until the parties come to a resolution. After the negotiation, there is time allocated for judge feedback.

HOW LONG DO I HAVE TO SPEAK? The negotiation process is as follows:

COMPETITIONS HANDBOOK 2016 30   

PRE-LAW MOOTING WHAT IS IT? Derived from the High Middle German word for meeting in medieval times for the administration of justice, Moot in this context is a competition which simulates a hearing in an appellate court. Competitors act as counsel and must submit brief written submissions and then make oral submissions to the judge and answer any questions the judge may have about the submissions they have made. Competitors are assessed in four key ways: 

The persuasiveness of the written submissions;



The persuasiveness of the oral submissions;



The legal correctness of the submissions; and



Advocacy.

This competition is a fantastic way for pre-law students to start thinking like lawyers and get a feel for some of the research skills that are involved in being a lawyer, and how to apply the law in a practical way. Questions are drafted at a level that reflects the lack of legal background that competitors will have, however students who are interested are encouraged to attend or volunteer as an associate in some of the Blackstone Moots in order to get a feel for what a moot is like.

HOW DO I PREPARE? Competitors are expected to research and prepare of a List of Authorities, a brief Outline of Submissions and the present an oral argument. Each pair must provide a copy of the Submissions to the judge on the night. Competitors must also prepare and research independent of any assistance from any other person.

TIME-COMMITMENT Trials start at 7:00pm and approximately conclude by 8:30pm. Questions and allocated roles are released to competitors at 72 hours before the moot.

HOW LONG DO I HAVE TO SPEAK?

Phillip C. Jessup International Law Moot

The FAQ section of the International Law Students Association website gives a description of the Moot. It is as follows: “The Philip C. Jessup International Moot Court Competition is an advocacy competition for law students. Teams of law students compete against one another through the presentation of oral and written pleadings to address timely issues of public international law in the context of a hypothetical legal dispute between nations. The Compromis is the springboard for the Jessup Competition. Written by leading scholars of international law, the Compromis is a compilation of agreed upon facts about the dispute that is submitted for adjudication to the International Court of Justice (ICJ), the primary judicial organ of the United Nations. After the Compromis is released, students begin researching and preparing arguments for both sides of the dispute, drafting and editing written pleadings, called “memorials,” and practicing oral presentations. Each team prepares two written memorials and two 45-minute oral presentations, one for each party to the dispute (the “Applicant” and the “Respondent”).” More information about eligibility, important dates and selection criteria will be available on the UWA Faculty of Law Website.

"Jessup is by far the most challenging but also the most rewarding thing I have ever done at university. The timecommitment required is intense, as is the pressure you inevitably put on yourself, however the results are amazing! I would highly recommend it to anyone who has an interest in public international law, advocacy, or who is just wanting to develop their legal writing, research and speaking skills. You will not regret it!" Isabella, 2015 Jessup Team
